@thegeneralpanda: first you need to add SVN Daum in the 'DosBox versions' tab of the main window (next to the 'Profiles' tab). Then in the general tab of the profile editing window of the game (not the general preferences) you have to choose the appropriate version of DosBox you want to use. A small …

I was wondering, is there one giant archive of configuration files that I can download off the net, that I can import into DBGL? You know....so that I can simply run most games without having to manually configure each one? You should make a template and then use it as default, so that you won't …

Does anybody know how to change the volume for a single soundfont in the load order? the bassmidi.chm mentions a command (BASS_MIDI_FontSetVolume) but how am I supposed to use it and where? Thanks if somebody can help me. Alternatively, is it possible with other means (VST version, other programs, …

While you shouldn't edit the profile's conf files yourself manually (as that is DBGL's job) for reasons you mention, it is perfectly ok to have a 'special DOSBox build' configured in DBGL with your highly specific experimental features enabled in its dosbox.conf. Then, if you create a profile based …

Hello, I'll repost a couple of suggestions I made some times ago and that have been ignored.. maybe it's silly, but I think they would improve the flexibility and usability of DBGL. * a direct command line option that bypasses DosBox (useful to run some modern ports like for Doom or Descent games, …

It's in edit profile > I/O > mapper file If you modify it with ctrl+f1 before assigning a custom map, it will alter the default one and the changes will apply for all games.

2. if you press a letter you're brought to the first game that begins with that letter (press more than once if games aren't sorted by title) 3. there's a wizard although I never used it (I prefer adding them by hand and use templates, I find it faster)

If you want to create a filter with some games, select multiple games with Ctrl+click, then press Ctrl+F, you'll have a filter with those game IDs. Other filtering options are: GAM.FAVORITE=true CUST1.VALUE='x' YR.YEAR < 1990 UPPER(DEV.NAME) LIKE '%x%' UPPER(PUBL.NAME) LIKE '%x%' UPPER(GEN.NAME) …

Very nice :) by the way I had some problems in upgrading. If I chose the gallery view, the list was blank. I had to export my profiles, delete the old db dir and import them again, then it worked. I still have the old db dir if you want to check what was wrong with it. I think it has to do with …

Yes, thanks, that's what I did already, I thought it would be more practical for those who don't know of this thing (I had to ask here on Vogons for this), if it's doable anyway.

Since you updated options for yhkwong, maybe you can add an option in the 'experimetal' I/O section to use official DOSBox keyboard behaviour (key delay setting). I often put 'mode con rate=32 delay=2' in the 'At Start' section of 'DOSBox [autoexec]' commands to do this when using yhkwong build, …

This is the soundfont: http://www.mediafire.com/file/wbfiiq1wx6n5chl/8mbgm-emu_MT32.7z To my ears it works rather well for many games that use MT32, except for Sierra games. I don't really know what ScummVM does to make the sound good with normal non-MT32 soundfonts. Also, for example in Realms of …

Hi, I made a soundfont that uses MT-32's standard, so that one can run in standard DOSBox (without MUNT) games that support the MT-32 and not the GM, and get good sounds. Only problem is that you don't get the sound effects (just instruments), but it works well for games like Wizardry 7 or Realms of …

Hello, I've a problem with yhkwong's build in that the keybord is too sensitive. In normal DosBox (and gulikoza's build) when a key is kept pressed there's a relatively long delay between the first sent input and the next ones. In yhkwong's build this delay is very short, and it's very easy to …

Thanks then. I'm wondering if it won't be much slower than zip even in decompression though. With zip it doesn't need to extract the whole archive to get something inside, with 7z it does (at least on win), so maybe it won't be that good if this will happen. Thanks anyway, whatever you'll decide …
